I work in the Navy Yard industrial park next to Navy Hill and since I live in Clinton Hill I usually hoof it or take the bus through there. It’s your average industrial-type area with nothing special to do or see, imo.Hil W.

I was tricked and swindled into a place in Navy Hill by a real estate agent who told me it was a “nice but gritty section of DUMBO” which I knew about as a gentrified sort of yuppie haven. I was all for DUMBO so I saw the place and moved in and found out that Navy Hill is NOT, I repeat NOT, part of DUMBO and is ten times as boring and twenty times as inconvenient. This place sucks and our building has a rat problem.Joey H.
